How to add your knowledge
Table of contents
No headersThicken offsets faces, surfaces, and quilts, and adds sides to create a solid. All surfaces are offset an equal distance from the originals. You can select multiple faces, surfaces, and quilts.
Thicken cannot remove a face, so the maximum offset value is set at the distance where a face disappears.
Thicken a face, surface, or quilt
- Switch the toolbar workspace to Solid or Surface.
- Expand the Solid pull-down or Surface pull-down then click Thicken.
- Select one or more faces, surfaces, or quilts.
- Select the Direction Type
- One Side Thickens the faces in one direction.
- Symmetric Thickens the faces in both directions. Each direction has the same distance.
- Drag the arrow to set the offset, or enter a value in the dialog box.
- Select the Boolean Type
- Join Adds material.
- Cut Removes material.
- Intersect Removes all material from the solid that does not overlap the new feature.
- New Body Creates the extrusion as a new body.
- New Component Creates a child component in the active component.
- Right-click then select OK to thicken the faces.
